As a process B 76/100 · Nearly there — weak spots: inputs and preconditions, consistency, progress reporting
How to improve
- A spec.yaml with trigger phrases and assertions — a behaviour contract for CI; `skilltest init` writes a template.

Process rating: all ten parameters 76/100
- 0Progress reporting. Says nothing while it works
- 30Inputs and preconditions. Does not say what the process needs to start
- 40Consistency. Frontmatter name (pandoc-convert) differs from the folder (pandoc-convert-pro)
- 60Result and completion. Output format stated, no completion criterion
- 70When it triggers. States when to use, but not when not to
- 100Tools and files. Tools declared in frontmatter
- 100Steps. 25 steps
- 100Failures and branches. 1 branches, has a failure section
- 100Execution cost. Instruction body is 1271 tokens
- 100Running it twice. No mutating operations
- medium 3 test cases, all positive: not one "should refuse" or "should ask first"
Everything here is measured from the skill text rather than judged by a model, so the numbers are checkable. A parameter weighs more when it is a more common reason for the process to stall.
